BYD SEALION 6 wins AA DRIVEN NZ CAR OF THE YEAR
29 November 2024
BYD Auto NZ is thrilled to announce BYD SEALION 6 has been awarded,
the prestigious AA DRIVEN New Zealand Car of the Year 2024.
From more than 200 cars tested since October 1, 2023, DRIVEN and AA judges trimmed them down to the top three finalists in each category, then awarding an overall winner of Car of the Year, the BYD SEALION 6.
Said DRIVEN Car Guide editor, Dean Evans: “The BYD SEALION 6 is simply too good not to award. In a year when buyers have moved away from pure EVs, for various reasons, there is still growing demand for greener, more ecologically friendly vehicles; the electrified markets have come alive with hybrids and plug-in hybrids proving supremely popular – especially in an SUV.”
Title partner of the Car of the Year Awards, AA Motoring Services Jonathan Sergel said: “We know Kiwis love the practicality of an SUV, and in the SEALION 6, the Dual Mode Intelligence technology gives it a strong edge compared to its competitors, shifting into a new realm of energy innovation and range extending capability.”
“It’s a great option for consumers looking to make a more sustainable choice without buying a full EV, and an 1100km combined range on one tank of petrol will get you exactly where you need to go. Plus, with its 5-star ANCAP safety rating, ample performance features, and reasonable price point, our team was undoubtedly impressed.”
BYD Auto NZ is absolutely overjoyed about this highly respected Car of the Year award! This incredible achievement wouldn't have been possible without the amazing support from you.
